Actimize, a NICE Company, Positioned in Leaders Quadrant of Magic Quadrant for Web Fraud Detection
Evaluation Based on Completeness of Vision and Ability to Execute
NEW YORK - March 04, 2009 - Actimize, a leading provider of transactional risk management software for the financial services industry and a NICE Systems (NASDAQ:NICE) company, today announced it has been positioned by Gartner, Inc. in the leaders quadrant in Gartner`s first Magic Quadrant for Web Fraud Detection report.
"Driven by regulations and increasing cyber attacks, the Web fraud detection market has undergone rapid growth and consolidation during the past three years," says Avivah Litan, distinguished analyst at Gartner. "Innovation is critical in this market to keep pace with difficult-to-predict cyber attacks that increasingly navigate across multiple customer service channels and the Web."
Among other things, the Gartner report highlights criteria to consider when evaluating fraud detection solutions, including cross-channel and cross-account fraud detection, real-time fraud detection and transaction-blocking, built in templates and libraries for detecting various fraud types and a policy editor, or an easy way to add rules to the fraud detection operation.
"We feel that Gartner`s evaluation of Actimize in its recent Magic Quadrant validates our overall market position and the value we deliver to our clients on a daily basis," said David Sosna, CEO of Actimize. "Actimize will continue to be at the forefront of innovation by developing and delivering the most robust technology platform and solutions to help combat financial crime. Our commitment to these core goals is the reason that so many of the world`s largest financial services firms select the Actimize solutions."

NICE Introduces its First Mobile Digital Video Solution, SafeRoute, Expands Company's Transportation Security Solutions Suite
NICE provides a comprehensive and unique solution for monitoring and managing security across entire transportation systems, including stations, rails, critical infrastructure and fleets
Ra`anana, Israel, March 30, 2009 - NICE Systems (NASDAQ: NICE), the global provider of advanced solutions that enable organizations to extract Insight from Interactions(TM) to drive performance, today announced the release of SafeRoute, the company's first mobile digital video surveillance solution. SafeRoute further expands NICE`s suite of security solutions, offering companies in the transportation sector a comprehensive solution for monitoring and improving security system-wide, in stations, rails, critical infrastructure and fleets.
NICE Systems` security solutions address public transit providers` complete security needs - from real-time threat detection and verification to post incident investigation and resolution. The new SafeRoute onboard video surveillance system extends NICE's comprehensive security capabilities from stationary assets to include moving vehicles, such as trains, buses, and trams.
SafeRoute is a complete solution for high performance mobile digital video surveillance, specially designed for the demanding conditions of public transport and equipped for high-quality onboard recording (up to 10 channels of video recorded in 4CIF@RT, along with audio and vehicle data). With SafeRoute, video can be viewed on driver monitoring screens, and also over a wireless or cellular network, enabling real-time monitoring of events for rapid response. SafeRoute also integrates seamlessly with external input sensors, such as GPS and Vehicle Information Systems, to capture complete incident information that shows vehicle location, speed and driver actions. That metadata can be captured and stored with video and voice recordings so investigators know exactly what occurred, why, where and when. In cases of extreme acceleration or deceleration or other high risk events, SafeRoute will automatically tag that video event and alert a remote security operator.
"SafeRoute onboard video surveillance is not only an effective deterrent, it is one of the most effective tools available for prosecuting crime, investigating claims, and improving the personal safety of passengers and staff," said Shykeh Gordon, Corporate VP & President of NiceVision, NICE Systems. "Vandalism alone can cost transportation companies millions of dollars annually. Experience also shows there is a direct correlation between passengers` sense of security and their ridership, so employing SafeRoute can potentially help transit operators achieve a higher return on their fleet investments."
"Many of the world`s leading public transit providers already rely on NICE`s video surveillance solutions to protect their stations, rails, critical infrastructure, and other assets," added Gordon. "With the launch of SafeRoute, NICE will apply our extensive security expertise, along with state-of-the-art mobile security technology, to help transit companies secure their passengers in transit and their fleets. Now, no matter when, where, why or how security challenges arise, NICE`s solutions can help transportation companies secure and monitor every point in the transportation field."
The SafeRoute mobile video surveillance solution and other NICE solutions for security and surveillance will be demonstrated in NICE`s booth #16096 at the ISC West Conference & Exposition, April 1-3, 2009, in Las Vegas, Nevada.
